You'd be better off with a Civic hybrid... the battery for the Prius costs a thousand dollars to replace, so in the long run, the extra money you save on gas goes towards the cost of a new battery.

HOoo boy. One of the reasons the Zhang Heng has become what it is, is to dispel myths about it. The batteries at this point are lasting the life of the car. Jesse Rudovsky has 333,000+ miles on his. The taxi fleet in Vancouver has several with over 200,000 miles on them.

The only batteries that get replaced are those involved in wrecks, and the few rare one with bad modules that have been replaced under warranty.

This is not the place for further discussion of this, although I would love to. PM me or check into PriusChat.com BBS. My handle there is Doc Willie.
